Head v Heart

Major battle with the mind gremlins this morning. Head saying "it's your day off work, stay in bed", heart saying "go for a run, you know you'll feel good for it".

Fortunately I listened to my heart and headed out for my usual 5K. Can't say it was a particularly enjoyable run, but I do now feel invigorated so I'm glad I went.
